ScHiODTE (Nat. Tids. vi. pp. 363-378, tab. i. & ii.) figures and describes, 
with details, the larva) of Euchroma columbicum (Mann.), t. i. figs. 1-15; 
Chrysohothris affinis (F.), t. ii. figs. 1-8; Anthaxia candms (F.), t. ii. figs. 9- 
12; Ayrilus hiyutlaius (F.), t. ii. figs. 13-17; Trachys minuta (F.), t. ii. 
figs. 18-22. The author gives general characters for the larvae of the Bu- 
prestid^, with elaborate particulars, and (pp. 364-368) a morphological table 
of the different parts in those of Euchroma, Eurythyrea) Ancylochira, Chryso- 
bothris, Anthaxia, Ayrilus, and Trachys. He also describes (without figuring) 
the larvae of Eicrythyrea micans (F.) and Ancylochira rustica (L.). 
Baudi (B. £. Z. xiv. p. 78 et seq.) notes vars. from Cyprus and Asia Minor 
of Julodis ehrenberyii. Lap., Sterasjus squamosa, Klug, Buprestis stiymatica, 
Balm., and chlorana, Lap., Capnodis tenebricosa (F.), Ancylochira ledereri, 
Mars., Anthaxia prceclava, Mann., hypomclcena, 111. (considered a distinct 
species by de Marseul : Ktz. ibid. p. 79, note), and midsanti. Mars., Ptosima 
Jlavoyuttata (111.), Acmceodera bijuya, Muls., Corcebus amethystinus (01.), 
Ayrilus roscidus, Kiesw. He also makes some observations upon Polyctesis 
rhois, Mars. ; considers de Marseul wrong in referring Acmceodera prunneri, 
G^n^, as a var. to A. \'^-yuttata (Bill.), giving his reasons (p. 81, note) for 
thinking the latter a var. of A^-fasciata (Rossi) ; describes an Ayrilus (p. 86, 
note) from Piedmont, which ho refers with doubt to subauratus, Gebl. ; notes 
(and names cytisi) a var. from the Maritime Alps of A. ductus (01.); and 
describes an example of the Algerian Trachys hijjponensis, Mars., taken at 
Turin. 
Damages caused to apple-trees in N. America by Chrysobothris femorata 
(F.), and remedies, are discussed in Amer. Ent. ii. p. 146, by Wielandy. 
Ancylochira ornata, 'SN (Ak. , — lanyii (Mann.): Lee., Ann. N. H. sor. 4, vi. 
p. 401. 
The habits of Ancylochira ^-maculata, Ptosima ^-maculata (the $ $ of 
which semblont P ”), Ayrilus subauratus, sinuatus, and ductus are mentioned 
byOlaudon (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® sdr. x. p. xii). 
Ayrilus ruJicoUis (F.) is figured, with its larva, and a gall produced by it 
on raspberry (named rtibi podayra), in Amer. Ent. ii. p.- 133, figs. 68 and 69. 
Its habits are described. The larva is redescribed and figured, ibid. p. 128, 
f. 90. 
Ancey (L’Ab. vii. p. 87) notes the economy of Ayrilus Q-yuttatus (Hbst.). 
Abeille de Perrin (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4« ser. x.. Bull. p. Ixxix) describes 
at full length his Ayrilus sulcaticeps, of which the diagnosis was published 
in Pet. Nouv., 1 Dec. 1869. He notes (1. c. ix. p. liii & x. p. xxxvii) the 
habits of Corcebus bifasciatus and undatus, which frequent the top branches 
of oak trees. 
Perris (L’Ab. vii. p. 34) records the larva of Trachys pumila as mining 
the leaves of Mentha rotundifolia and M. puleyium ; other recorded plants 
for the sp. being also Labiatce. 
Kraatz (0. H. vi. p. 31) considers Trachys to be the Greek adjective sig- 
nifying rough,” and not to be a word of no meaning, as v. Harold states. 
The question of masculine or feminine terminations to the names of its 
species is also discussed. Cf. v. Harold, ibid. p. 116.
